I’m assuming that this gentleman is in the “silent generation” demographic born before 1945 hence a “pre-boomer” and adverse to change. Is he making a significant financial contribution? If so I’d just “suck it up”. If not., maybe the board chair should meet with him and question his perception if his role. People like the gentleman you described are why term limits are so important.

Employee recognition has often been deemed a "feel-good" initiative, tied closely to rewards. While we understand its importance, we tend to associate recognition with intangible outcomes like engagement and sentiment, rather than direct impacts on retention and high performance.
